Gary has previously noted that Zii doesn't check her electronic communications. (He thought that leaving a note on Lita's collar was a more reliable way of communicating with her and DiDi.) Most characters in this universe are old-fashioned that way, actually; even a geek like Gary is erratic about going online, and it's a sign of Ruby's freakish nerdiness that she looks stuff up on Google.

Plus he probably realizes that Zii doesn't want to talk to them at the moment. I mean, it seems like she did not leave a note.

What are you talking about? Ma3's Prime Directive is don't lock your doors.

All good ideas, but Gary is wisely wary about calling the two acquaintances who have feelings for Zii, they could both be upset at him for "driving their Zii away". Although if she's left town, then he's postponing the inevitable; sooner or later they'll come around looking for Zii and if Gary doesn't spill the proverbial beans, DiDi certainly will.

If the two of them are going to be of one mind - either as partners or as just friends - it needs to be agreed upon before locating Zii, letting her know, and figuring out what happens next then.
They should discuss the previous night, but they won't, 'cause they're worried about Zii.

Not to mention that it wouldn't occur to DiDi to think about the nature of their relationship. They don't have a relationship. She was using Gary for sex. This can't be a problem; nobody ever complains about it in her experience, after all.

All the logic and sense coming from Gary clearly is forming a rift in Dangerously Chloe.

Thanks!
Now picture Yuki spinning upside down through the air like a top and kicking Gary multiple times in the groin. That's what the Spinning Bird Kick is (though frankly the sound file for it sounds like Spinning BAR Kick! to me). :D

I just knew Gary's luck would take a turn for the worse after his night with Didi. Just as themacnut pointed out, Sonya and Yuki are going to find out that Gary and Didi having sex drove their beloved Zii away but only Gary will be blamed for it.

Good grief. So little trust in them as people and friends....

I'd sorta kinda trust them a lot of the time, but Yuki's psychosis, Sonya's drama addiction, and their shared infatuation with Zii, do make them a little unstable.

On hearing that Suzi has vanished, I would hope they would be more concerned with finding her than with assigning blame and inflicting punishment. (At first.)

They might well be. I mean, they're both crazy, but that doesn't mean that Gary has an exact measure of their craziness.

But Gary's relationships with the pair of them basically consist of alternating wild and crazy sex with getting slapped in the face and kicked in the nuts. So I can't honestly blame him for being paranoid.
